Krummenacker remained among America’s finest 800 meter
runners in 2006 with his runner-up finish at the AT&T USA Indoor Championships
and ending the year ranked #3 in the U.S. by Track & Field News. Krummenacker
came back from a sub-par 2004 by making the 2005 World Outdoor team. In 2004 he
had another good season, but missed the Olympic team by one place with his
fourth-place finish in the 800m at the Trials in Sacramento…enjoyed a
breakthrough 2002 season in the 800 meters, then added an exclamation point when
he won the 2003 World Indoor 800m title, out-kicking world record holder Wilson
Kipketer to take the gold. A hamstring injury hampered his progress outdoors in
2003. In 2002, Krummenacker ran a new personal best of 1:43.95 in Monaco, his
second U.S. Outdoor title and Grand Prix wins in Paris and Rome. He also posted
a new personal best in the 1,500m of 3:31.91 in Stockholm. Also in 2002 he set a
new 1,000m indoor American record of 2:18.19 at the Boston Indoor Games. With
his #1 U.S. ranking in the 800m and 1,500m in 2002, Krummenacker is the first
man to be ranked #1 in the U.S. in both events since Rick Wohlhuter in 1976.
Wohlhuter was also #1 in both in 1974. Krummenacker is now the fastest U.S.
800m-1,500m doubler ever. His goal is to hold the American record in both
events, which hasn’t happened since Jim Ryun owned the world records for both in
the mid-1960s. He credits his success to new coach Luiz de Oliviera, who has
changed his workouts focusing on less volume and more quality. Krummenacker is
also getting more rest and using pool training and a variety of drills such as
plyometrics. Krummenacker won his first U.S. title in 2001 by edging out Derrick
Peterson in a photo finish in the 800m. His previous best finish at a U.S.
Championships was 8th in the 1,500m in 1998 … His first love was basketball, and
he only started running because his high school basketball coach required that
the team run cross country in the fall. In the spring, he tried track as well:
“I liked that a lot more than cross country”…earned his degree in
management…likes to surf, play chess, and listen to music, and also dabbles in
stocks.
